If the left is willing to burn it to the ground in order to get their way, what options do you have? Look at Australia where they burned a significant amount of the country by arson, to bring attention to climate change.

A homogenous society of 51 million. Spread across 39,000 sq miles.

Spare us the nonsensical comparisons.

Its still anyone's election. The other side is just as bad from an electability standpoint and very few people will look at the pre Cv19 economy and the post Cv19 economy and say its his fault except the TDS crowd who are already priced in anyway.

He didn't call it a hoax, he called its coverage a hoax. He didn't say nazis were "very fine people" or that immigrants are "animals" those are blatant lies, continually reported years after being debunked completely. They were shrieking howls of naziism when he stopped flights when he did and they called that heavy handed and unreasonable. Sound-byte 30 second ads go both ways.

Will the electorate really say Biden (who is unlikely to be the one on the ballot in November IMO but we'll see) will be better? Will the people also vote for his flag burning marxist radical veep on the ticket as well? Stick it to Orange Man Bad and let's go with unlimited open borders with unlimited completely free medical, education, housing, food and direct cash benefits for the entire planet whoever wants to walk over and take it. Yeah that'll show him!

BTW I don't think we're likely to see a thread beyond a couple pages that isn't a colossal political TOS dumpster fire for a while. Mods feel free to delete this idc.

Im just trying to imagine the media and political reactions had the current potus made his first order after taking office to spend hundreds of millions on pandemic preparedness along with stringent health screenings before any foreign visitor be allowed entry to the US?

You people monday morning QBing this are a joke.

Yes it is a catch-22, that’s why I don’t think anyone could recover from it.

Read or google an article by David Leonhardt, March 15, NYT. Outlines the timeline. I believe the Senate Intelligence Committee briefing was on Jan 26. The one the senators got their insider trading info. So, the intelligence community, part of the executive branch had this info. Compare it to what was being said around that time. It's not Monday Morning at all.

Having been to briefings at the Pentagon many years ago and at Delta Air Lines, I've never seen this behavior by an adult.

the homogenous population excuse, or the dog whistle for “we could have done better if not for all these minorities”

Reporter: “ what do you say to the millions of Americans that are scared right now?”

War time President: “I say you’re a terrible reporter, next”

followed by adolescent name calling

“I don’t called it Comcast I call it concast”

WTF

Im not referencing the insider trading. Congress has been corrupt in this regard for decades.

I will say this....had the current potus made eliminating congressional insider trading immunity his top priority entering office its likely his removal from office would have been swift....and bipartissn.
